National had an operating loss of $122M in the 3rd quarter. See the last page of
this document for more details.
I suppose what you're driving at is could National be liquidated and the regionals left to stand on their own? Answer: I can't say with 100% certainty, but I believe it's 'no.' The regional companies' assets, namely real estate and late model rolling stock, are pledged as collateral as well. Should National be liquidated the banks are going to want those assets to make them whole again.
